The mystery of bright flora

[theatokos]

Besides when I wear tight or low-cut shirts, I get more attention when I carry flowers than any other time I walk down the street. What is it about a beautiful bunch of flowers that catches peoples' eyes and encourages smiles? I get honest looks, not leering or glances meant to look like un-glances. I get smiles. Flowers make people smile. Especially bright ones. I shouldn't be surprised; they make me smile too. That's why I buy them. I think people wonder, did she receive them? If so, from a lover? Did she accomplish something? Is she giving them to someone special? She doesn't look sad, so maybe no one's ill... maybe she's giving them to her lover? To her mother/father/sister's best friend's daughter for her first recital? No one knows. Flowers hold a happy mystery. That's why I buy them.
